This includes payments done through our Mobile App/Customer Portal or by Cash at one of our Branch offices.
    5. The Subscriber agrees to pay timeously all amounts due in terms of the Agreement. Payments are Agreement based and not Usage based. That means, if your account falls in arrears due to non-payment, the agreement continues regardless if your internet account has been suspended or not, until you cancel this agreement as per 9.2. C-Way purchase your service from Upstream providers and therefor billing continues as per agreement and not as per usage.
    6. All internet services are pre-paid and not post-paid regardless of usage. By not using the internet (for what-ever-reason, including account suspension due to non-payment), will by no means stop monthly payment obligations as set out in this agreement. This is a "promise to pay" agreement and not a "pay as you go" agreement

For special arranged EFT customers, it will be the responsibility of the subscriber to send the proof of payment to accounts@c-way.co.za , before the due date to avoid automatic blocking of internet services. Only the customer's Account Number will be accepted as payment reference.
    8. Please be advised that any discrepancies in payments, including but not limited to unpaid debit orders or overdue invoices, may result in the immediate suspension of services. This suspension may extend beyond the specific service in question. C-WAY COMPUTERS reserves the right to suspend any and all services due to non-payment and will only reinstate such services once all outstanding dues are fully settled across all products and services. A "Debit Order Return Fee" of R150 will be applicable for any unpaid debit orders, regardless of the reason. If the customer stops or returns the debit order as "No Authority," a R200 administrative fee will be applicable. Subsequently, a new bank mandate with updated bank details will need to be completed, in accordance with bank regulations. If the debit order is returned unpaid by the banks and the account remains unpaid past the invoice payment due date, both the Debit Order Return Fee and the Late Payment/Admin Fees will be applicable.
    9. C-WAY COMPUTERS reserves its rights to change its prices at any time on reasonable notice to the customer.

Such Late payment/Admin Fees are payable immediately and in conjunction with the outstanding fees which resulted in non-payment e.g. "Debit Order Return fees". Late payment/Admin Fees will be calculated on a sliding scale based on the number of incidents of non-payment on the Customer's payment record. Non-payment of Late payment/Admin Fees will be considered non-payment and will be subject to the same terms. Once levied, Late payment/Admin Fees are not recoverable or reversible, regardless of whether payments are made within the prescribed period. Late payment/Admin fees will be applicable to all invoices not paid by the Due date indicated on the Invoice and at the sole discretion of C-Way Computers’ account department.
    11. If the Customer’s Services are suspended, blocked or terminated for any reason, including non- payment, C-WAY COMPUTERS will charge a Reconnection Fee for subsequent reactivation of services. Reconnection Fees are payable in full before any services can be reactivated, once suspended. C-WAY COMPUTERS may charge multiple reconnections Fees where multiple products are affected and may charge "escalating" penalties for repeated non-payment offences. Any prior leniency shown in this regard will not prejudice C-WAY COMPUTERS' right to enforce such penalties in full at any time (within C-WAY COMPUTERS’ discretion).
    12. In cases of suspension of Services due to non-payment, C-WAY COMPUTERS reserves the right to levy both a Reconnection Fees as well as an Admin Fee if invoice is past due payment date. Any and all penalty fees must be settled in full, prior to reconnection of affected services.
    13. In the case of billing disputes, the onus is upon the Customer to raise such disputes in good time to prevent interruption of services while the billing is in dispute. Reparations will be made to Customers with successful disputes by means of an account credit or refund, at C-WAY COMPUTERS’ discretion.
    14. C-WAY COMPUTERS reserves the right to terminate services where a customer has shown a repeated disregard for payment terms and consistently fails to make regular scheduled payments on time and using approved payment methods. The conditions of termination will be based on guidelines determined at C-WAY COMPUTERS’ discretion and may vary. The means and terms of termination will be determined at C-WAY COMPUTERS’ discretion. Notice of termination will be provided to the best of C-WAY COMPUTERS’ ability, but C-WAY COMPUTERS will not be held liable for claims or requests for further provision of services once a Customer’s services have been terminated due to non-payment.
    15. The Client shall not be entitled to withhold any payment for any reason whatsoever and neither shall the Client be entitled to claim a remission of subscriber fees.
    16. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all amounts due and payable, in terms of the Agreement, shall be paid free of exchange, and without deduction or set-off, and shall be paid by way of a direct debit order in favour of C-WAY COMPUTERS (drawn against an existing banking account nominated by the Subscriber), or in such other manner as C-WAY COMPUTERS may from time to time determine. Should a debit order returned multiple times unpaid (determined by the Bank), the existing Bank Mandate will be rendered invalid. In this case the customer will have to complete a new bank mandate and supply new banking details to continue using Debit Order as a payment method.
    17. The Subscriber agrees that C-WAY COMPUTERS will be entitled and authorised to draw all amounts payable in terms of the Agreement from the account specified by the Subscriber (or any other bank or branch to which it may be transferred).
    18. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the debit order authorisation will commence on the Date indicated on the Bank Mandate completed by the customer at the time of sign-up and will continue, and not be revoked, until termination of the Agreement or until such time as all amounts due and owing to C-WAY COMPUTERS have been fully and finally discharged. Furthermore, the debit order authorisation will be collected at the agreed date every month as selected by the Subscriber on the Application form and Bank Mandate. This will continue each subsequent month, to collect any amounts due. The payment method may not be changed unless C-Way has been notified with a one calendar month notice. Please note that any other method of payment done by the customer will by no means automatically stop the debit order and will still continue to be loaded as per the Bank Mandate agreement. This is because debit order batches are loaded two weeks in advance before the debit order date. The customer will still be responsible for any debit order return fees if proper notification of payment method was not requested to us by the subscriber.
    19. The interest will be calculated from the due date of payment to the date of actual payment, both days inclusive, and will be compounded monthly in arrears. The Customer agrees and undertakes to pay the interest.
    20. The Subscriber agrees to sign all such forms and to do all such things as may be necessary to give effect to the debit order as contemplated in clause 8.18 above or otherwise. Should the Subscriber fail to pay any amount on the due date stipulated for payment then C-WAY COMPUTERS may, without prejudice to any of its other rights and remedies:

      1. Take all such further steps as may be necessary to recover the outstanding amount from the Subscriber, including without limitation the use of debt collection mechanisms, and/or Subject to clause 8.18, terminate this Agreement with immediate effect

This charge at time of this agreement is R150 per reconnection. Reconnection fee applies to all Customers.
  20. Connection Faults, connection quality and repairs
    C-WAY COMPUTERS will be entitled to assume that the wireless link or fibre link of a Customer is in good working order until such time as the Customer advises C-WAY COMPUTERS’ support or office of any problems, service breaks, or poor quality of the service. Any faults or service interruption or lack in service quality, should be reported via one of the channels available on C-WAY COMPUTERS website, the mobile App or by contacting support during limited support hours services. We do not offer 24/7 support. During office hours the branch office of C-WAY COMPUTERS should be contacted directly to report any faults. The provider will attend to faults reported by the Customer during office hours and the relevant party will apply its reasonable endeavours to have the service restored in the shortest possible time after hours. The rendering of Internet services will always be on a “best effort” basis and many factors may contribute to sporadic degrade in the quality of internet services that are not necessarily under our control. If the Provider determines that the reported fault was caused by the Customer, the Customer shall be liable for payment of the relevant call-out charge as stipulated by the Provider from time to time. The absolute preferred method to get support is through the C-Way Support Ticket system which the details are contained on our website, https://www.c-way.co.za/support.

    C-Way operates and maintain the C-Way Network infrastructure. We want to advise Customers that due to the nature of the Telecommunication industry, the Internet that the end user receives depends on many third-party providers who provide services separate but interrelated to one another and to C-Way. The cooperation and services of all these providers as a whole, makes the internet possible. Customers accept and acknowledge this fact. C-Way will always use its best endeavours to ensure services are operational at all times but cannot warrant a 24-hour, 7-day a week service without interruption. Fibre faults, fibre move request or any other fibre related service, is not the responsibility of C-Way. The last mile Fibre suppliers (FNO) are responsible for their own infrastructure maintenance, repairs and any other fibre related service request. For this reason, C-Way will not be liable, nor will we reimburse the Customer for any Fees paid or costs incurred by the Customer for Services which has been interrupted, or was non-operational for any period of time. Kindly note, the "I pay you, so you should fix it" will unfortunately not be a realistic expression of facts and will also not be possible. C-Way will however always where at all possible, notify customers in advance or as soon as we became aware of a fault or interruption in the service we provide. Because of the many third parties involved, the supply of internet services will always be on a "best effort" basis.
  21. Upgrades, Downgrades
    1. Because C-WAY COMPUTERS render a pre-paid service, and such buy pre-paid services from upstream providers, downgrade of Line Speeds must be accompanied by a full calendar month notification.

    3. All Upgrades and Downgrade requests need to be sent to sales@c-way.co.za.

The Subscriber may not sell, cede, assign, delegate or in any other way alienate or dispose of any or all of their rights and obligations, under and in terms, of the Agreement without the prior written approval of C-WAY COMPUTERS.
